The IBDsite data schema. Conceptual schema of the information content maintained in IBDsite. Data about H. sapiens genes that correlate to IBD are structured according to a gene-centric view. Annotation
tables are related to the main one according to the gene identifiers, also used for
structuring the ontology support and the systems biology layer. For commensal bacteria
knowledge, the main table maintains data from literature, associating specific bacteria
with the pathology and alteration mechanisms.
